Sorry if this is a hijack... But I take it the Avatar movie will not play in any 2.2.1 rom? I only ask because I just get the " do you wish to unlock?" popup over and over.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Romanbb:
I got the same thing. Honestly I think it's just luck whether it acquires the licences or not.

I have no idea whether it will work with 2.2.1. I'll do some testing in the coming weeks though
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdm4u:
would this work if i moved the movie file over to the internal sd card? I upgraded to an 8gb external card from a previous phone. It used to work fine before on the internal card, but like previously mentioned, when flashed a rom, it doesn't work. It worked with bionix 1.2.1 though. Idk guess ill keep trying.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rorycs:
Just as an FYI...

Flashed Trigger 2.7 and the FIRST thing I did after waiting 15 minutes and rebooting was to open Files, navigate to the Avatar.dcf file (the actual movie, not the icon or through Video Player) and run the file. The movie opened immediately and began to play without any problem. Then I restored everything, installed the launcher icon (in my post or in Birg's), rebooted.... It now works fine. Hope this can help....
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] RaymondPJR:
avatar fix

Think about it logically. What I had was a fresh install that wouldn't play the movie. I never do system data backups with Titanium, so that wasn't a factor. So, I deleted the cache/data (whatever was there) for both DRM processes and for the Video player. Then, I restored the system data only (for all three processes) from my last Rom install which was Bionix V 1.2.1 where it was working fine. Once it asked if I wanted to unlock the movie, I choose yes then rebooted when it wouldn't play. Makes sense to me!:)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Paging Dr B:
Avatar was great in the theater in 3D!

But a year later i'm over it being on my phone. Why not just rent the movie from netflix, rip it and save the "backup" onto your phone? Seems a hell of a lot easier than what you guys are doing? I mean just when you get it to work, you'll flash a new rom and it's not working again. Just imagine not flashing a rom because of avatar. Lol.

Sorry i'm not trying to troll, just save you guys the headache. =)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Romanbb:
I flashed a couple times yesterday and tested it. Worked every time ;)

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] caliga4221:
Quick question about this. I am on trigger 2.6, going to go to 2.7 soon but before I do I want to be sure about something.

Currently if I go to the movie player and tell it to play the Avatar file it plays just fine. If I go to the Avatar icon it says "file not found". I have not moved the avatar movie as far as I can remember. I am confused since it works and doesn't work at the same time. How can I fix the Icon to play it?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Romanbb:
uninstall your avatar through Bloater and re-install it. It's a different APK that *should* work
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] caliga4221:
I went to Bloater and told it to uninstall and it said "operation canceled" so i gave up there and went to TI Backup and installed it there. rebooted and went back to Bloater and told it to Install and again it came up said it was installing then "operation canceled" but the install circle progress / activity bar is still going... strange huh?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] RaymondPJR:
Avatar Fix

What Rom were you running before Bionix B 1.2.1 and did Avatar work on it. If Bloater won't uninstalled the icon that is already there, just do it manually with Root Explorer. This thread is only 3 pages and there are several slightly different things you could try to get it working after you flash, but I would make a fresh Titanium backup now of both DRM processes and the Video player. I really think restoring that data if the other steps should fail can help!:)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] caliga4221:
Stupid local wifi went down...

Rom history

Stock

Bioniv v forget exact version

Boot looped modding bionix back to stock

Trigger 2.6.1

Trigger 2.6.whatever it was just before 2.7

Avatar was tested on stock and 2.6.1but not from icon. Now for some more strangeness ... avatar icon shows up in app drawer but not in tibackup or file explorer and when I click it I get "file not found"

Sounds like I might should clean flash stock, test, then flash trigger 2.7 (my current goal anyway)

Edit: fixed bad auto correct... modding turned into nosing ...wtf?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Romanbb:
see if you can get avatar working before restoring ANYTHING
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] RaymondPJR:
Avatar Fix

If you mean by this that it is there with a line through it, then I would manually delete and reinstall and then backup the data if there is any (I'm not sure if the icon every has any cache or data). If it isn't even there with a line through it, then that is strange!:)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kcp877:
I can't get it to work no matter what I do, guess I don't care, but it annoys me that I can't make it work! I pulled the drmua and sisodrm apks from nero because everyone said it worked then, but it still does not play. Threw must be another apk that is blocking our saving data somewhere.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] roumenjr:
I completely share your feelings on this, I tried a lot to get this working. I flashed back to stock 2.1 and then 2.2, extracted .apk files from there and ran them on Trigger. Somehow, somewhere, on some of the flashes (obviously not all cases), more information is stored that does not allow the file to play. And I can't find where is that data...........:eek:
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kcp877:

Ray I'm glad avatar works for you. So far this has been the only problem I've had that I can't fix from reading the forums or trying multiple things.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ecamichael:
Thank you, I've been wanting this back.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] roumenjr:
So, after a few days of this issue hunting me, I flashed back to stock and backed the drm protected content storage with titanium backup. Flashed back to trigger and restored it, installed the avatar app from bloater and rebooted. Guess what, the stupid thing works now :-) only using the avatar shortcut, if I try loading it from video player it won't. Oh well, I can almost not think about it now...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] caliga4221:
Strange since I still have the exact oposite issue. I cant play from the icon but I can play from video player. Guess I will try this when I go to Trigger 2.7 in a day or two after the download finishes... if the local wifi ever comes back up.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] da_dragon2k3:
I personally have moved beyond showing phone off with avatar. I think a better choice would be This Ain't Avatar XXX. I seem to get alot better reaction to my phone and screen. Not exactly sure why though.

Birger, I suggest you add this movie to your next release of trigger!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] iscrewup:
I am having the locked problem, too. What does it means by locked? Does it have to do with file system lock? or is it a license thing?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] roumenjr:
It's a license issue or to be more correct, copy rights. On a custom rom, the correct copy rights are not present or somewhat lost for the player to know that you have rights to view the file.

I wish i still had the original avatar file :( I gave away the external sd as soon as i got the phone not knowing it was on there lol.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rorycs:
I thought Birg posted the link in the OP, but just in case use the link below to download the Avatar apk. Just install it like any other app... (for 2.2 roms)

http://db.tt/fxToNmv

Let me know if that works for you...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rorycs:
Install the Avatar launcher apk below and you should be good to go...

(This is just the apk, not the movie! Use this if you can play the movie from Video Player but the Icon doesn't work).

Would somebody mind posting the video for those that have lost it?

Maybe seeding it in a torrent? Normally I wouldn't suggest doing this, however it seems to be a common request.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Romanbb:
I wouldn't mind setting it up later tonight, but I'm not sure how legit it would be. I know it's encoded and all, and I would think the only way to play it would be on a Vibrant, but I don't want to be the one responsible if it's not ok ^_^
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Binary100100:
I know that it's a hot topic but this is how I see it.

It IS technically copy right material. Absolutely. Which according to black and white forum rules cannot be posted.

I already "obtained" it through other means. But I still can't play it on my device OR on my computer. Likely because of DRM. So what harm will it do to post it to those that actually have the device and need to re-acquire the file? I could see if it was in .avi, .mkv, mp4, wmv, vob, etc format but .dcf? If someone really wanted the movie to distribute illegally I think that there are about 2,500,000 different sources to get it from and that would be much easier. We (including myself) just want what is rightfully ours. Nothing more, nothing less. My .02 anyway. Under these circumstances I don't honestly see a problem with it. And if Samsung does... we'll... then they'll send something to us and we can take care of it then. I understand the entire picture here. We can all mail our cards back to Samsung for the file, go back to T-Mobile and copy the card or just click a link and copy it over. It's already protected... so why the redundancy?

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] davemw2:
I know this topic is old but hopefully somebody can help me out. How long do you have to wait after you hit "yes unlock it" to do the next step? Nothing pops up after that and ive waited for an hour and nothing happened. I just kept hitting unlock it and it kept going back to the option.

At first i did what the op said but to avail.

Hi app can you tell me if wildfire on 2.2.1 can be rooted ?
[Wildfire General] DenKofAnd:
Yes, NO it can not, if you used like 2 minutes reading the forum you would already know that since HTC upgraded hboot from 0.8 to 1.01 noone has been able to root it yet, unless they use XTC Clip to set wildfire s-off, then degrade it to eclair that's the android 2.1. Then it can be rooted as far as I understand it, but if you don't know anyone with the XTC clip then welcome in the que to the rest of us waiting for a software solution, that unrevoked is working on......

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] georgiejr:
Hi,

I have the Atrix 4G and whenever I take a picture or a video, and send it as text messaging (mms), it always asks me to resize. Any still picture using the camera always asks me to resize. I would understand the video, but a picture.

Is this because the Atrix takes a picture that is high res that it would just send it through text messaging unless it is resized.

I am using Handcent and also the built in text messaging, and it will always ask me to resize and really a pain in the.......

Any suggesstions, or any settings, or any recommendations to just have take a pic and send....

Thank you
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotleadsingerguy:
So just let it resize...what's the problem?

Every phone resizes its pictures before sending, most just don't ask. Even the beloved iPhones resize their pics (select a pic to send and at the bottom it'll show a message saying "Resizing" for a second). Why is this a problem?

[Defy General] add.thebad:
thats odd then. i have no idea why that happened rooting it shouldnt effect it ne way.

however this guide is outdated now and their are easyer ways to do it now

but personally i would reccomend to jump straight up to gingerbread with cm7 its totally the dogs dangalys
[Defy General] defyuk:
would it be possible for you to point me in the direction of that please? sorry i would look myself but id probly get the wrong version or something. also would it be possible instead just to download and use the nordic one in uk? would i still get internet and signal and stuff?

the nordic one from herehttp://and-developers.com/sbf:defy ? or would the orange 2.3 one work for a t-mob uk?
[Defy General] add.thebad:
yeah that should work fine

this is how i do it

and european roms will definatly work regardless of network however if you use and asia or USA rom you need to use the baseband switch app to make it work on the europe signal

you could flash the 2.3.3 orange but it is not complete and their are still some bugs. if you do want gingerbread cyanogen is you best bet atm

you should maby wait till you have it working first :p

let us know how you get on so i know if the guide is ok
[Defy General] defyuk:
lol true :) what do you mean by flash it in recovery? do i put the phone in recovery first or bootloader or do i just flash the sbf file via rsd?
[Defy General] add.thebad:
no you need to install a custom recovey their is an app on the market that does it for you https://market.android.com/details?id=com.eugene.defy.bootstrap&feature=search_result

then boot into recovery and restore the nandroid
[Defy General] defyuk:
ok ive now installed that sd recovery.....im on the app now , sorry im lost , so where does the sbf file come into it? sorry for being thick im just pretty new to this stuff
[Defy General] add.thebad:
inside that download their should be a .sbf and a folder

but the folder on your sd card in folders called "goapkrev" and inside that "backup"

then use that app to install recovery and then boot into recovery

then restore that thing you just put on ur sd card from withing recovery

then flash the .sbf in the usual way
